0:45 non-alcoholic painkiller which you may be familiar with painkiller without the booze you get it Placebo this drink is more than just removing the booze from a painkiller I like to add in a little bit something extra just to zip it up a little in a shaking tin start with 2 oz of cream of coconut I'm using a homemade recipe but you can use Coco Lopez Coco Lopez is a little bit sweeter so you may need to adjust the ratios accordingly to that add 2 oz of orange juice 6 oz of pineapple juice 3/4 of an ooun of fresh lime juice and a small pinch of ground cinnamon add about a cup of crushed ice then blend that until it's smooth pour right into your favorite pineapple shaped glass garnish with some pineapple frond grated nutmeg and an umbrella to keep the sun off your nutmeg egg the placebo here we

1:33 go this is outstanding creamy texture little sweet very satisfying sweeps you off to a tropical island without the booze of course if you want you could add in the booze and you've got yourself a painkiller the cinnamon gives it this this warmth that actually has me thinking maybe I need to put cinnamon in my regular painkillers I usually don't do that fresh pineapple juice makes a huge difference I will say I've recently discovered the cold press pineapple juice at Trader Joe's if you have a Trader Joe's near you you have to go to the refrigerated section and try it out it is the best non-fresh pineapple juice I've ever tasted in my entire life not sponsored or Affiliated on to number two I call this one a little time off from drinking this cocktail is I think of

2:20 like a fancy fizzy lemonade it's got herbal notes a little spice and it's really tasty for starters we need to make a Time infused simple syrup start with 34 of a cup of white sugar add half a cup of water stir to dissolve over heat a low heat we don't want this to boil as it's dissolving we can add a good amount of fresh thyme this is about 20 G of thyme full sprigs we don't have to pull it off from the stems we're going to let that simmer for about 10 minutes don't let it boil after 10 minutes we can take it off heat I like to let it cool with the time in it once it's cooled we can remove the time sprigs and then strain off the syrup to get any little time bits and there we have time infused simp simple syrup now to make the a little time off in a shaking tin start with 1 oz of that th syrup you just made to that add 1 oz of

3:07 fresh lemon juice add some ice give it a quick shake this is not a a super long shake this is just to incorporate add a little bit of air and that's it otherwise it'll turn into a slush and you can't get the Liquid out of the shaking tin and it's a real bummer and you will be disappointed so just a quick shake and then we can pour it into a Collins glass filled with ice along with your favorite ginger beer garnish with a lemon wheel and a few sprs of thyme there we have a little time off cheers Thyme and lemon go so well together the ginger gives it a Snappy element depending on the ginger beer that you use you may want to adjust that syrup but you certainly want enough that you taste that time that's important but the sweetness play around with it also would be good with a little bit of gin

3:53 if you want to kick it up and turn this mocktail into a cocktail it's no longer a little time off though then it's it's time time on time in it's back to drinking on to number three Passion at the Disco this has nothing to do with a musical group Panic at the Disco other than I thought it was a catchy name and it popped into my head yeah this name isn't completely out of left field it has passion fruit in it in a shaking tin start with 1 oz of fresh lime juice 1 oz of passion fruit syrup I'm using my homemade passion fruit syrup but you can use store bought too add ice and Shake pour it into a small chilled jalter glass and top with 2 oz of tonic water garnish with a mint leaf beautiful passion at the Disco cheers this is an equal balance of sweet

4:39 sour and bitter from the tonic water I also like that it's served in this little chilled glass you get the little bits of ice chunks on it that's really nice this would be good with a little bit of rum if you wanted to do that on to the final mocktail this one I call the Cherry zip this drink has a few more layers and I've made it a few different ways in fact when I came up with this drink I made it with kombucha and then remember that kombucha actually has a small amount of alcohol in it so I reformulated and came up with the current recipe for the Cherry zip in a shaking tin start with 1 oz of a tart cherry juice I'm using Mont Mory cherry juice which is tart and there is zero sugar added to that add 1 o of orat again this is my homemade recipe but feel free to use your favorite store bot 1 oz of black tea half an ounz of fresh

5:26 lemon juice and here comes the zip we are going to add a/4 of a teaspoon of red pepper flake now if you have old red pepper flakes then you might want to add half a teaspoon pepper flakes because they lose their potency over time now we can add ice give it a shake grab your favorite fancy glass fill it about halfway with crushed ice pour off the cocktail onto the crushed ice and add even more crushed ice we can garnish this with a nice sprig of mint and there we have the Cherry zip cheers perhaps use a straw if you don't want to chew on crushed ice there's the zip you get the heat at the end up front you get tart cherry almond and black tea in the middle and then that pepper on the end
